As Donald McDee the miser, was counting over his hoard, one stormy night, heard a rap at his cabin door and a piteous voice calling for ad- mittance. He hastily bundled his treasures out of sight, for, while he was a miser, he did not mind heed- ing a eall in distress; there might be money in it. Opening the door he saw a white- clad woman without, who glided past him and sat down by the feebly- burning hearth. “What have you come for?” growled McDee, looking at her furtively. “Give me some for the poor,” she said, earnestly; “you can easily spare it.” “I haven’t a cent!” he howled. “Money, indeed! Why, I’m just starvin’, so I am, this minute.” “Then,” said the woman, stopping and lifting a bit of wood from the floor where it lay, “give me this?” “That?” faltered the miser. a useful bit of good board.” “Willyou give it to me for Christ’s sake?” cried the woman. “It uiay save some poor creature from freez- ing to-night.” The old man looked at her, and fought hard with his longing to snatch it from her. At last, as though battling with some unseen foe, he gasped: “Take it, and go! Take it, and go quickly!” It was the first thing he had ever given away in his life. The woman took her prize and went out at the door. The miser drew it to and bolted it, and hurried to his bed, terrified and trembling. But, strangely enough, after that, whenever he counted his treasure over, he used to take credit to him- self for having been generous. “The board wag worth a good dale,” he used to say—“quite a good dale. It's a fine thing to be chan- table—that it is. I don’t begrudge it, as some would.” And so he magnified his generosi- ty until one night the low, soft knock came agnin, and, as once more he hid his treasure, the voice called out: “It’s I, Donald McDee. Let me . ‘It’s in. He opened the door, though it was against his will. The starlight shone behind the figure, and the sky was clear. “It's yourself again, said Donald, in awhisper. “What do you want now for the poor—I’m the poorest of them all.” “What will you give?’ asked the wolnan. Donald looked about him. A little coil of rope hung on a nail; he had begged it of some sailors. He snatch- ed it down and crammed it into her hands. “There! It's worth a good dea!,” he said. “It'sa good bit of rope. Take it and go.” He then hurried in went to bed; and dreamed all night that he had given away all-his treasured gold. It was a horrible dream, but still from time to time on he spoke of the board and the rope to himself when he counted up his good deeds. ‘Tm not a miser, as they say,” he would mutter over his money. “I'm always giving ropes and boards to the poor.” Atlast Donald McDee fell very ill. Hestayed in bed, unable to get out of it, Under him in the mattress all his money was hidden. Neighbors brought food and drink and peat for his fire, and he would | not have a doctor for fear of the ex- | pense, but one day, as he waked |from a doze, there, sitting by his /side, was the white woman with her | old ery: | “Give me something for the poor.” self standing on the margin of a dark river, awful to look upon. Beyond lay something too glorious to look upon, that seemed made of gold and precious stones. An angel stood; beside him. “Do you know what that light is yonder?” he said. “Ido not,” replied Donald trem- bling. “It is the gate of heaven,” said the angel. “May I enter?” asked Donald. “Tf thou canst ford the river, climb the steep hill and unlock the gold- en gate,” said the angel. “Let me see,” said Donald, “1 drove the widow Dunn’s cow for rent, aud I made pretty penny by it, and I took her pig myself.” The angel frowned. “I picked up the money the old blind ‘squire dropped and him none the wiser,” said Donald. The angel sighed. at i Donald I've ne feeems al} “TE the aie said tit was all right ing uway but a of key.

There stood the mouutain, high and steep, but he saw a bit of rope dangling over and voice from above evied: IN THE MIDST OF DEPRAVITY. , A Walk Through the Whitechapel Dis- | trict—Gath in the Enquirer. “It is the rope you gave. Holdit fast and chmb.” Donald stood at the gate of heav- en at last and looking though the bars of gold saw the beautiful land within, but the gate remained fast locked. “I cannot win heaven he moaned “T have been too wicked.” But then a hand was upon his arm and the white robed tigure was be- side him again. 'She held a key in her hand. “Your voluntary gift, Donald,” she said, “take it ard unlock the gate.” But Donald stood clasping his hand upon his brow. “[m trying to remember what my mother taught me from the Bible,” he said. ‘What was it? ‘It is more blessed to give than to recieve.’ That was it. As he spoke a mantle of white seemed to fall about him, the gold en gates turned upon their hinges and he entered heaven. The last Sunday I remained in> London a friend invited me to get | into a cab and go see “Petticoat | Lane” in Whitechapel, where so , many mysterious murders of we} men have recently taken place. The | cabman left his cab in a broad street | of this quarter, quite close to the | great fiscal institations of England, like the exchange and the bank. In half a minute we were in the street which had apparently been widened in order to diminish the influence of | the mob, and I found myself afraid of the human beings around me. There were tens them. of thousands of The cabman had told us to ”’ as the police force was of very small consequence in that district. There also, you were so close to the ribs and breasts of an immense multitude that some such fiend as butchered the women could have thrust a knife into your bowels and it would have been im- possible to discovar whence the stab came. “button up close, Davy Crockett’s Last Son Dead - Granbury, Tex,, Sept. 29.—Col. Robert Patton Crockett died at his residence on Rucker creek last Thursday in the 73rd_ year of his life. He was one of Hood county’s pioneer settlers, locating here in 1854. His death removes the last son of Dayy Crockett. Immediate- ly after the fall of the Alamo and the massacre of his father by Santa Anna’s brutal soldiers, he left his home in Tennessee and joined the Texas revolutionists. After peace was declared and victory had been achieved by the Texans he returned to Tennessee where he remained and settled down. In 1854 he return- ed to Texas bringing with him his aged mother, Elizabeth Crockett, who died here in 1860. On the eve of August 11, he sustained serious injuries by a frightened team run. ning away with the wagon and suf- fered intensely until death relieved him. Said the cabman to ufe when we had a moment’s pause somewhere: “These murders are doing a great deal of good. They will bring to public attention the awful vice and crime and depravity in this quarter, where for three half pence a woman will prostitute herself, and where, nevertheless, generations are being born and bred. Look yonder at that woman sitting in the doorway with anew born baby! That child will never know, perhaps, any other world than this right here.” There were human beings all around me by tens of thousands, for we walked three-quarters of a mile through this dense array on Sunday morning, who had the coun- tenances of wild horses. Furious avarice was the only law of existence there. The sale of old clothes by persons who hardly knew | their race, but who had a Semitic | look was going on as if so many] pnize fights were taking place; be- | tween the German cities, lide Ham-| burg and London a vast trade in| old clothes is perpetual.

The writers include the Rev. Professor Shields of Princeton, Bishop Potter of New York, the Rev. T. T. Munger of New Haven, the Hon. Seth Low of Brooklyn, and Professor Ely of the Johns Hopkins University. For each paper the au- thor will be responsible, but he will have had the benefit of the criticisms of the other members of the group before giving it final form. The opening paper will be printed in the November Century. Still Experimenting. Washington, D. C., Sept. 29.— Secretary of Agriculture Rusk has returned to the city after an inspec- tion of the mills for the manufacture of sugar by the new diffusion pro- cess. When asked if the new process had proved asuccess,Secretary Rusk replied: “I can not say that it has as yet. The government chemists stationed at the mills are at work to | find ways of improving of the results which we now get, but unless that can be done Iam very doubtful about | the profit of making sugar from sor- ghum cane. Three or four chemists however, are still hopeful of favor- able results.” A Stick of Stovewood. Fulton, Mo., Oct. 2.—At Calwood Some Ugly Charges. Washington, Sept. 30.—Charges ofa serious character have been made to the State department during the last year concerning the official and personal conduct of Reed T. Lewis of Pennsylvania, United States consul-general in Morocco. A newspaper published at Tangier goes so far as to make the direct charge of attempts at extortion of money from another representative of the United States, a Vice-Consul Cohen. who is stationed at Mazagan, Morocco. According to the news- paper, Lewis called on Cohen, who is quite wealthy, and demanded 20,000 francs as the price of his re- tention in office. Cohen, indig- nantly refuaing, was deprived of his office by Lewis who offered it with- out success to several persons. It was finally settled by Daniel Mad- den. The paper also charges that Cohen was placed under arrest, his papers seized and the American flag over the consulate hauled down. Lewis is the son of a wealthy Philadelphian. It was he who rep- resented the United States at Tan- gier during the trouble with the Sultan of the district and whose bold stand was so highly commend- ed in the country. | What a Woman is Tired Of. T am tired of the woman who cul- tivatess her brains atthe expense of her heart. Tired of men who do not take care of women. : Of clothe: made by a machine that rips when you pull the string. Of men who climb over you be- tween the acts, tear your gown, make you cross, and knock over the bonnet of the woman in front of you. Ofchildren who are dressed in silk and lace rather than in flannel, and who wear more jewelry than they do good manners. Of mothers who think children a nuisance. Of hearing providence blamed for one’s own mistake. Of the continued claim that wo- men are not paid as well as men when they do as good work. Of sewing on shoe buttons and sharpening lead pencils. Iam tired of almost everything except the American girl, good- looking men, chocolate, hot bread for breakfast, broad-nibbed quills, a big sheet of paper to write on, fox terriers and babies. Given a nice, sweet, plainly dressed baby, from the cannibal to an angel in heaven, there isa keen appreciation of it. It has ail the virtues of sweets and fox terriers, and its possibilities are greater. And yet so wicked is the world that, shame upon it, the babies can be bought cheaper than either the dogs or the bonbons.—Bob's Letter. Hissing Harrison. Last Friday afternoon the old sol- diers of Pratt hissed the name of Harrison and cheered for Tanner. Dr. McElwain, a prominent republi- can, made a firery speech denounc- ing the president. After the exer- cises the soldiers marched to the Rock Island depot to meet Secretary Rusk, who was passing through ona tour of inspection of the sugar factories. Three cheers were called and given for the secretary, then three for Tanner. Then three groans for Harrison were called and given with a will, almost all the partici- pants being republican soldiers. Secretary Rusk then made a brief speech, but made no reference to politics or pensions or to the demon- strations made in his presence jagainst Harrison.—Kingman (Kan.) | Democrat. | PUEBLO AND DENVER, “Im sick now and poorer than i , MAY Bl FFETT SLEEPING CARS ever, said he, “but mind this, a Sane! absolute rest.
